Answer:
16 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a square is calculated as
A = s² ( s is the length of side )
Here A = 144 , then
s² = 144 ( take square root of both sides )
s = = 12
Then
perimeter = 4s = 4 × 12 = 48
fence required to enclose garden = 48 ft
Using the conversion 1 yard = 3 feet , then
fence required = 48 ÷ 3 = 16 yards
